I thought “Muslim outreach” was their primary mission.
I really hope this is true. Unfortunately, if we stick to one planet, Liberalism will doom humanity. Our only hope is the final frontier.
LOL thanks for the laugh..

No, NASA Did Not Accidentally Invent Warp Drive

60 second ad ... no thanks
NASA can’t even get people to the space station and has described muslim outreach as their primary goal. I imagine they will be “working on” FTL technology for quite some time, though I don’t expect any results.
NASA developing "smellier than the smell of Bullsh!t" marketing division to convince stupid people to pony up more funding.
How’s the brakes?
“LOL thanks for the laugh..”
It’s no laughing matter. The Chinese are running some successful tests, because they see major potential as an Em propulsion system for new kinds of weaponry.

NASA should let us know as soon as they can go as fast as “plaid”.
That NASA Warp Drive? Yeah, It’s Still Poppycock

Now, the last time this idea popped up it made a bunch of noise, which eventually settled down because of some pretty (ahem) obvious flaws in Eagleworks’ experiments. The physicists hadn’t run the tests in a vacuum—essential for measuring a subtle thrust signal. And while they had tested the drive under multiple conditions, one of them was intentionally set up wrong. That setup produced the same thrust signatures as the other conditions, suggesting that the signals the physicists were seeing were all artifacts.
This time around, Eagleworks researchers said they had addressed one of those problems. “We have now confirmed that there is a thrust signature in a hard vacuum,” wrote Eagleworks member Paul March in a forum. It was that post—all the way back in February—that led to most of last week’s hullabaloo....
On top of that, there’s no way to be sure that the tests were run in a hard vacuum—because the only source of information is a post on an Internet forum. Not a peer-reviewed published result, not even a one-off conference proceeding. Let’s not do science like that, OK?
And a transporter.
And antigravity.
And turning lead in to gold.
You can skip about 10 seconds in.
But... but... but, but, but...
It's worked so well for James Hansen.
The science is settled. The conservation of momentum is wrong.
Kevmo? Is that you?
One other important question would be, will they be able to deflect cosmic radiation and particles to protect the crew much as the Earth's magnetic field protects organisms on the surface?
Exposure to the harshness of space will be a huge issue for anyone who is crew on one of these ships headed for Heaven knows where.
